186: Chapter 184: Enchanting Gu An_2 186: Chapter 184: Enchanting Gu An_2 The target isn’t me, nor is there any vendetta.
What’s left is the affair of the two Sects, and I just need to pass the message to Chu Meng.
With or without me, there’s actually no difference.
It’s just that Lou Jin will always follow during the logging, using the Charming Technique every time.
Only after using the Charming Technique does the other party feel reassured to leave.
In order to know their subsequent plans, Gu An followed along.
Indeed, by mid-November.
He received useful feedback.
[Yesterday afternoon, Lou Jin received a message, knowing that the Blood Refining Sect was about to make a move.
The tree they have been waiting for is finally going to start releasing Qi.
If they can find it and bring it back in advance, it will change the entire Blood Refining Sect.
But in the forest they found, there’s a natural Array that requires enduring the backlash from logging to break through the Array.
Their people lack logging experience, and blindly acting can easily backfire, so they thought of you.
It seems you only know how to log, and tomorrow they’ve decided to use the Charming Technique and Spirit Stones to get you to do the logging.
To break the Array.]
Looking at the feedback, Gu An sighed.
Getting me to log, but now I know one thing, they seem to have found some special wood.
This wood could change the situation of the Blood Refining Sect.
Gu An was somewhat surprised, what kind of wood has such capability?
Divine wood?
Although the wood he is logging now is special, it’s only a bit special.
Not to the point where it needs to be fiercely contested.
Now that he knows the specifics, how to inform Chu Meng?
Otherwise, later on, how to make clear my involvement?
Unfortunately, I can’t go to Spirit Bamboo Peak, it would easily expose my relationship with Chu Meng.
After dawn, Gu An continued logging and indeed encountered Lou Jin again, and she brought along someone.
Whom Gu An had never seen.
A bald man in his early thirties.
“This is Senior Brother from the Outer Peak, Senior Brother Zheng.
“Lou Jin came over to Gu An and cooed an explanation: “He says he came looking for you, Senior Brother, do you recognize him?”
Gu An looked at the other party, with Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, but like Lou Jin, concealed their cultivation.
Exceeding my own, it should be Golden Core Perfection.
Although surprised, after improving the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, his expression didn’t reveal too much.
And no one could perceive what he was thinking.
Hearing this, Gu An feigned surprise and then respectfully saluted: “I’ve seen Senior Brother.”
This person must be an accomplice.
Senior Brother Zheng looked at Gu An and kindly said: “Junior Brother is being too courteous, actually, I come to you for a favor this time, I heard that Junior Brother’s logging ability is quite good.”
“I do log often.” Gu An nodded.
Sects with good logging abilities are numerous, why bother to look for me?
Is it just because I’m easily beguiled by the Charming Technique?
“I have a logging job here, would Junior Brother like to give it a try?” Saying this, Senior Brother Zheng immediately added: “It will only take three days, just logging one tree is enough.
Our Outer Peak will pay one hundred Spirit Stones, mainly because it’s urgent, otherwise, the offer would not be so high.”
Gu An was silent for a moment.
You should know, that’s an Array, my logging is equivalent to breaking an Array, how terrifying the side effects are, how could I bear it?
In the end, Gu An showed a regretful expression:
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but a Senior Brother from the Left Courtyard asked me to go there to log.”
“Left Courtyard Senior Brother?” Lou Jin looked at Gu An and spoke softly and gently: “Can’t you tell them you’re not logging for the time being?”
Gu An feigned distraction, and still shook his head in the end: “No, there are Direct Disciples there, if I don’t go, they would come looking for me.”
Direct Disciples?
Upon hearing this, both were stunned.
In the end, they could only leave it at that.
Thus, Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief, indeed the people from the Left Courtyard are more useful.
Additionally, by not getting involved, I’ll be a bit more safe.
It’s a pity for the tree within the Array.
If it really is that important, wouldn’t my cultivation soar if I could log it?
Unfortunately, that’s a place eyed by the Blood Refining Sect, my presence there will surely bring disaster.
You should know that being a Golden Core is just to infiltrate, outside there must be who knows what powerful beings.
It’s better to continue logging, staying far from Sect conflicts.
Today he arrived at the Left Courtyard.
Upon entering, he saw Ye Huaxiao, who was contemplating the chessboard with emotion: “Almost won.”
Gu An performed the greeting and was about to log.
“Junior Brother.” Ye Huaxiao smiled and said: “Junior Brother, do you know how to play chess?”
Gu An shook his head.
“That’s a pity, Junior Brother, continue with your logging then,” Ye Huaxiao said with slight regret.
It was then that Gu An entered the forest and began logging.
Outside, Ye Huaxiao felt puzzled, muttering to herself, “Strange, it’s been so long, why hasn’t that Senior Brother made a move?
Does he really not care?
But his logging is indeed good; I hope Senior Brother doesn’t go too hard on him, he should at least be able to continue logging.”
She felt that internal injuries were better, like foundational damage and the like.
After all, physical pain is nothing compared to the despair of the spirit.
At this moment, Gu An found the Heart Devouring Wood and began logging.
Although there were some risks, he still needed to enhance his cultivation.
Logging the Blood God Wood might take another half month, but Heart Devouring Wood, seven to eight days would be enough.
Grinding his teeth, he could endure it.
Just didn’t know when the Blood Refining Sect would start.
Logically, the Sect should have also started to prepare, so there shouldn’t be any great danger.
Three days later, quite a few Sect Disciples arrived at Outer Peak, starting to stand guard.
And they were inspecting much more strictly.
Five days later, the hideout of the Blood Refining Sect was found, and the Sect Disciples began to strike.
Battles occurred from time to time.
Occasionally, there would be roaring and blasting noises, the Qi of Magic techniques lingering on endlessly, getting close might result in being torn apart by the aftermath.
Luckily, it was all happening outside; if it was in Outer Peak, where would he run to?
However, Gu An was curious about the realms of those who were taking action.
After a closer look, it seemed that among the people he had seen at Qianchen Peak, none had come.
Seven days later, Gu An noticed that the battle was starting to spread to Outer Peak.
The stationed people were gradually leaving Outer Peak.
Gu An felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, thinking that the people from the Blood Refining Sect would start their move to obtain that wood.
He could just observe Lou Jin to know where the location was.
But…
Who could know what powerful figures were around, better to enhance his cultivation first.
In the early morning, Gu An felt a Warm Current.
Thus, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His Hard Cultivation was filled, and although his Magic techniques were almost ready, it still needed a day or two.
But Hard Cultivation signified cultivation.
This time, the advancement would be to Golden Core Perfection.
The two Blood Refining Sect spies he had seen so far, he could just barely deal with.
On the other side.
Lou Jin stood by the window, looking at the moonlight outside, saying, “It’s almost dawn.”
“Yeah.” At this moment, a Baldie was sitting on the ground beneath the window, saying, “We should probably make our move tomorrow, right?
The Array is about to be broken, do you think Cangmu Sect has discovered us?”
“They must have by now, and even if they haven’t, we still need to find a way out,” Lou Jin stroked his hair, looking down at Baldie with his chest pressed against the window, chuckling, “If we are pursued, let’s go to Gu An, the Charming Technique is very effective on him, and he has the Anger of an Angry Peasant.
He’s likely to help us withstand the pursuit.
Don’t be fooled by his age; under the tempering of various woods, his physical body is comparable to someone in the Golden Core Middle Stage.
He could somewhat block the pursuit.”
“Okay, if there’s really no other way in the end, I’ll hold off the people from Cangmu Sect, by then you just run,” Senior Brother Zheng said seriously.
“If Senior Brother can’t escape, I’ll probably not be able to either, I just hope the people coming to meet us don’t run into trouble,” Lou Jin tilted his head, letting his hair fall, looking down at the person below, expressing sentimentally, “As long as we bring the item back, we will become Direct Disciples, and the future is boundless.”
“Let’s get ready, we’ll move out after dawn, let’s just not run into anyone above Golden Core, otherwise even Blood Escape might not ensure escape,” Senior Brother Zheng stood up and said.
Hearing this, Lou Jin nodded, “Okay, we’ll follow Senior Brother’s lead, take care, Senior Brother.”
After dawn.
A loud rumble came.
Gu An opened his eyes, feeling a terrifying Qi.
And the distance wasn’t very far.
“Is the fight reaching Outer Peak?”
He went out to check and found it wasn’t as exaggerated.
But the momentum was indeed bigger than before.
“There’s no feedback, but the noise suddenly increased, so it seems they are moving today.”
“Also, the Ring of Destiny isn’t reacting, either it’s unrelated to me or today’s discussed strategy.”
“Where should I hide?
Or should I continue logging?”
